This Northern
Quarter favourite, from the same people
behind The
Liar's Club, Black
Dog Ballroom, and Dog
Bowl, boasts three floors of rum, ribs, bourbon
and beer, all with a very different feel. If it’s
ribs or a burger and a beer that you are looking for
then grab yourself a seat in the ground floor Rib Joint & Tap
Room. Food is also available in the more sophisticated
First Floor Bar, with its leather sofas and seating-only
policy. Both floors offer great cocktails however,
if you're feeling more Tiki, then head to the top floor
for the Zombie fuelled Liars Lounge

An added touch of New York glamour has arrived in the Northern Quarter with this cocktail bar and eatery on the corner of Hilton Street and Tariff Street.
